Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) is one of the most important macroeconomic data for the US economy. Forex, stock, commodities, and even cryptocurrency markets can react strongly to every new publication.
Day traders should have these dates marked in their calendars. Financial markets are unpredictable, but at least you can know when the new critical data arrives.
What is NFP? The numbers released by the US Department of Labor show the number of people in the United States on the payrolls of all non-agricultural businesses.
NFP is published the first Friday of each month, at 8:30 am EST. Here are the exact dates and hours. Make the necessary adjustment to your local time zone.
